Indian Retail Investors Embrace Dip-Buying Amid Shifting Mutual Fund Themes

Indian retail investors have increasingly adopted a 'buy-the-dip' approach, with mutual fund inflows surging during market corrections, particularly in mid- and small-cap funds, as noted by Elara Capital. Meanwhile, investment themes have shifted frequently, with recent focus moving from gold to private credit and global funds. Experts highlight that fund managers often promote trends aligned with asset gathering rather than solely investor returns, urging caution in following thematic investment advice.
